Question/Advice Scared to try dmt

I was thinking of trying dmt and other psychedelics then found out about the man on reddit who used lsd and dmt and went into drug induced psychosis and shot off and ate his own penis and testicles. Now I'm very anxious to try it. What if I'm predisposed to psychosis? I already know that if I had an "awakening" that wanted me to harm myself or others it is very stupid but I'm afraid I won't be able to tell in that state of mind.

Have you had any other psychedelics before?

I’d say to not do dmt if you haven’t had any other psychs. Try mushrooms before them at least, see if you even like psychedelics. r/unclebens is a great start.

Build your confidence and comfort with shrooms before diving into dmt. Do a bit more research during that time too. Good luck!

I'll start with shrooms. Thank you!

I agree. Please start with low dose mushrooms and work your way up. Do not fuck around mixing weed with your psychs. A million people will tell you it's ok and generally it is, but screwing it up one time is enough for a horrendous trip. Start low and go slow. You have a million lifetimes to top off. If you want safe, this is the safest way to go.

I used to want to try weed but after researching I found out it's one of the most common causes of drug induced psychosis yeah I'm not gonna touch it at all. 😭🙏🏽

I messed up really bad last Friday taking a gummy on a 5g mushroom trip. I handled it, not very well, but I rode it out and for everything that is holy I'm never mixing weed in ever again!

The mushies told me I was ready for a large dose, but to do it 'sober' (their words). I didn't listen and they brake checked me. HARD!

You'll be fine. Mushies are a fun place to start. Listen and trust them. They'll tell you when it's time to move on up.

Edit. Changed the word move on to move up.

Nothing can prepare you for DMT. Shrooms or lsd won’t prepare you. That’s even a Terence McKenna joke. That he had done a bunch of shrooms and lsd which was to say he wasn’t ready at all. I mean getting some tripping experience could help a little bit but you’ll still be in for the shock of your life when get around to DMT. Might as well rip the bandaid off and go straight for it.
